Hello all, still looking for a little help. I posted a week or so ago that I have some dirty bummed chickens (four chickens - 2 naked neck and two brown hybrids are dirty bottomed, the other four of a different breed are not). They were all eating and drinking just fine. I have cleaned the coop and spread diatomaceous earth for mites or lice (while the girls were outside the coop grazing). Now, a few weeks later I have one chicken who is coughing and making some weird wheezing, congested sounds, while another one appears very ill and is lethargic and has her eyes closed. She allowed another chicken to peck at her and didn't even open her eyes. Again, all the affected chickens are the brown ones. None of the Brahma chickens appear sick or have dirty bottoms.
I live in Portugal and there is no vet to look at chickens. I can get meds through the local pharmacy if I knew how or what to treat. I am not sure what I should be doing. Please help!
